Main article: Military history of Belarus during World War II
​
​During WWII, Belarus was part of the Soviet Union, as the Byelorussian SSR. Because of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union was lulled in to a false sense of security, and was invaded June 22, 1941. The Jewish inhabitants were rounded up by Einsatzgruppen, and slaughtered. Belarus was reclaimed during Operation Bagration in August 1944.
